Show and TellÂ
Show and tell is a fantastic activity that helps your child develop important skills. It gives them a chance to practice public speaking in a supportive environment, which builds their confidence and helps them feel more comfortable sharing their ideas. It also provides a wonderful opportunity for them to share a bit of their world with their classmates, strengthening our classroom community and helping everyone get to know each other better.
Celebrating culture in the classroom! This week, we were delighted to have Veer share his passion for the tabla with us during show and tell. The tabla is a traditional percussion instrument from India, consisting of a pair of small drums. The right drum is called the dayan, and the left is the bayan. Together, they create beautiful and complex rhythms that are a cornerstone of classical Indian music. Veer's performance was incredible and it taught us all about the rich history and beautiful sounds of this amazing instrument.Â

Perry brought in a stunning piece of fluorite to share with us! He explained that this mineral is known for its beautiful array of colors and the piece he showed us was expertly carved and polished, allowing its gorgeous blue and green banding to shine. It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about crystals and geology and we all enjoyed getting a closer look at this marvelous piece of nature's art.Â
A huge thank you to Haadi for an awesome Show and Tell this week! He brought in his mini games console loaded with retro games, giving the class a peek into gaming history. We loved seeing the pixelated graphics and hearing about the classic titles. It was a fun way to talk about how technology has changed and to appreciate some of the original video game masterpieces!Â

We left after breakfast for Allum Bay. We visited the glass making factory and the sweet making factory. After visiting the respective shops, we had lunch overlooking The Needles. Then, we visited the historic town of Yarmouth and got on a boat journey.Â
After a very pleasant journey, we arrived to PGL and got straight into the activities: Matrix, Trapeze and vertical challenge. We had lots of fun!
